Mrs. Marlette encouraged prospective college students. Two of the busiest people at Southern High this year were Mrs. Frances Marlette, part- time counselor, and Miss Eugenia Church, full -time counselor. Nomatterwhat the problem, academic or scoial, a sure source of help for a confused student was definitely the guidance department. During the year, the guidance counselors were occupied in helping seniors choose colleges for which they were best suited. They assisted many academically inclined stu¬ dents in applyingfor scholarships. For under¬ classmen, the counselors found themselves directing the administering of group tests. Such rewarding programs as College Day and Ca¬ reer Day were also among the infinite jobs the counselors possessed. Together, with the ad¬ ministration faculty, and parents, the guidance counselors provided the students with assist¬ ance and advice in making decisions and form¬ ing plans for the future.

Pat and Johnny show their class how to change a tire. Driver ' s training promoted highway safety For the first time Southern offered to stu¬ dents a safety education course in driver ' s training. Students were chosen for this class by their age and were taught during their study hall. Driver ' s training required a minimum of thirty clock hours for classroom instruction. Also necessary was a minimum of six clock hours per student for behind-the-wheel instruc¬ tion and practice driving, plus twelve hours of driving observation. Students gained much from this course. They learned the parts of the car, the proced¬ ure for changing a tire, the rules and regula¬ tions for driving, and the punishments for traf¬ fic violations. This course is not required at Southern but the completion of driver ' s training is neces¬ sary before one can apply for a North Carolina driver ' s permit or a driver ' s license. 27 MR.
